The Deputy is right about the public discourse around this and new technologies. These are big foreign direct investments, FDIs. They use energy and that energy use is managed through grid connection. The large energy user draft policy was published by the CRU. It also went through a full round of public consultation. The best information I have right now is that the final policy statement, which will bring a plan-led approach to large energy users, including data centres but not exclusively them, will be ready in September or October this year.
